Description
The new Stirling BBC LS3/5a V2 has been designed by Stirling Broadcast to meet the exacting requirements of the BBC LS3/5a specification. This newly released version of the monitor classics utilises new Stirling SB4424 and SB4428 drivers with a very hi-grade ‘SuperSpec’ crossover, all housed in thin-walled reference cabinets modelled after the famous 001/002 pair featured in Hi-Fi News.
The legendary sonic character of the original LS3/5a speakers has been retained, with the new model having the added benefit of a 5 year warranty and the assurance of the future availability of spare parts. Awarded ' Best Loudspeaker under £1000' in Hi-Fi News magazine 2005 awards issue.
Customer Reviews
I currently have them placed in my lounge sat atop some Bowers & Wilkins STAV24 stands with blu tack to replace the original feet. Half mass loaded and still running in with a Leben CS300F amplifier.
After a few weeks my Initial thoughts drew me to a very honest, open, natural and unobtrusive sound. A smooth top end, detailed mid range and dynamic low end. I would use the term 'low' as lightly as I can because for the most part they don't hit those low regions too often. The Leben has bass boost dials which raise those lower frequencies if desired.
For the most part I'm never really left wanting and in fairness to their size they have impressive low end frequency. I can sit for hours at a time and never feel the need to stop listening, that can only be a good thing.
I'm happy with my purchase from Audio Affair they kept me up-to-date with the order directly from Stirling.
The LS3/5a's have a rich history, sublime build quality, fine British craftsmanship, great sound quality.. you get the picture.
